Sustainable Broadband Adoption grants encourage sustainable adoption of broadband services by: (1) acquiring broadband‐related equipment, hardware and software, and digital network technology for broadband services; (2) developing and providing training, education, support and awareness programs or web‐based content; (3) conducting broadband‐related public education, outreach, support and awareness campaigns; (4) implementing innovative programs to facilitate greater access to broadband service, devices, and equipment; and (5) undertaking other projects and activities that are consistent with the purposes for which the program is established.

As stated within the BTOP grant guidelines, expenses associated with conducting broadband awareness campaigns, computer training workshops, digital literacy programs and developing web‐based content are considered eligible costs, as is reasonable compensation for qualified instructors for these types of programs.
